Specification of Letters Batent.

Application filed May 29, 1911. Serial No. 629,980.

To all whom it may concern:

lie it known that I, ALVA L. Samoa, a citizen of the United-States, and a resident of Dermott, in the countyof Ghicot and State of Arkansas, have made certain new and useful Iu'iprovements "in Beveling- Planes, of which the t'ollowmgis a specilit-HUGH.

My invention relates to improvements in tools, especially in planes, audit consists in the constructions, combinations and arra'ngement of parts herein described and claimed.

An object of my invention is to provide a plane which will bevel the edge of a board or other similar object to a given depth without the danger of getting beyond the depth orof getting the wrong angle of bevel. 1

A further object-of my invention is to provide a device in which certain parts may be, adjusted soas to fit a rectangular board for the purpose of thereof at the proper angle.

A further object of my invention to provide a device bylmeans of which thc'edge of a board may be beveled with means for varying the depth of the out.

Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification and the novel features of the device will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forn'iing part of this application in which similar reference characters indicate like parts in the several views and in which. V

Figure 1 is a side view of a plane con structed according to my invention, Fig. 2. is a plan view thereof, Fig; 3 is a detail section through a. portion of the plane, Fig. ti. is an end view of the device, Fig. 5 is a section along the line 5'5, of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows, and

' Fig. ti isga view showing the slotted members which permit device.

In carrying out? my invention, I provide a main guide .frame consisting of the members 1 and 2, these members being disposed at right angles to one another, as shown in. the drawings, the apex'oi' the angle 8 being at the upper part. A cut-away portion 4 is. provided, which viewed from above has the appearance of a rectangular openthe adjustment of the ing. Secured centrally of the device uponbeveling the edge I with a scale 20 adjacent the apex of the guide frame is a handle 5, While a hand rest 6 is carried at the top of an upright 7 extending from the guide frame. The latter has a vertical slot 8, and is provided with braces 9 and 10. On the opposite end oi the opening s is an upright 11 which is provided with a similar slot 11 and with braces 12 and 13 similar to the braces 9 and '10. Between these uprights 7 and '11,. the plane proper P is se-' cured. As will be seen theends ofthe frame are turned upwardly. The end 14 is provided with an arc-shaped slot i l through which a bolt 15 (see Fig.

5) is arranged to extend. This bolt passes through the slot 11, and is provided with a thumb nut '16 to clamp the frame member let to the upright 11. The opposite end of the frame is provided with an upright- 17 having a slot arranged to receive the bolt secure the .frame member 1'? to the upright- 7.,

18. A thumb nut 19 serves to The bolt 18 is provided with a squared portion 18*, which is arranged to extend through the slot 7", so that the boltwill not turn when the thumb nut 19 is tightened. The remaining portion of the cisely that of an ordinary plane having the blade B which is adapted to project down wardly through the bottom thereof, as shown in Fig. 3.

From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood.

Let us assume that the edge of a rectangul ar board is to be beveled to a certain depth and ata certain angle. instead of going to the necessity of laying off lines on the hoard. itself, I provide the guide members 1 and *2 to the edges of the opening 4. Thetl'iumh nuts in and 18 may be-loosened in the manner shown in Fig. 5, the frame of the -;plane may be adjusted to any angle by noting the points'at which the bottom of the frame crosses the scale. For instance the frame may be moved so that it crosses one scale at a distance of one quar-- ter ofan inch from the apex, while the crossing point of the other scale may 'be at three quarters from the apex. Of course, allowance must be made for the projection of. the point of the blade below the frame. The tool may he used-now by simply running it alongthe corner and. the board may .iatented Mar. 255, 1912.

plane P is prefrom the drawings be beveled at. the proper angle and to the the part of the operator. There a number of boards have to be beveled the same depth and the same angle, it can be readily seen that the use'of a device such as that described above will result in a great saving of time, and moreover will result in a greater accuracy than that which can be ordinarily obtained.

I claim:

1. In a beveling plane, a pair of angularly disposed guide members having an opening therein, a plane frame secured in said open 1 mg,

and means for permitting the adjustment of the position of the plane frame angularly and vertically with respect to the guide members.

2. In a bevcling plane, a pair of guide members disposed at right angles to each other and provided with an opening, a plane frame having a blade, said plane frame being disposed in said opening, and means including a pair of tightening nuts for permitting the adjustment of the position of the blade vertically and angularly with respeet to the guide members.

3. In a bevcling plane,'a pair or" guide I members disposed at right angles to each other and having an openlng. a hair fit slotted uprightscarried by said guide members adjacent the ends of said opening, a plane frame havin end portions abutting said slotted up'rig ts, said end portions being provided with arc-shaped slots, and means passing through the slot in each upright and its adjacent frame end for securing the frame end to the upright in angularly and vertically adjustable positions.

4.. In a beveling plane, a pair of guide.

members disposed at right angles to each other and having an opening, a pair of slotted uprights carried by said guide members adjacent the ends of said opening, one of said uprights bearlng a lmruLreJ-t, a plane frame having a pa r of upwardly turned vend portions, each of said end portions being provided with an arc'shaped slot, a bolt having a squared portion disposed in the vertical slot ofeach upright and arrangedto project through the arc-shaped slot in the up-turned .adjac-ent frame portion, and aye-11b for clamping said frame portion to said upright.
